Decisions Decisions!
Updated: 2 days ago
Do you suffer from decision fatigue—or can’t you decide?
Last week you ranked the worries. Some you released. Some became a Plan.
A plan is not a wish. A plan is a series of decisions made in advance — so this week’s self does not have to suffer through them again.
The full Week 11 teaching video is embedded below. Watch it here on this page.
Deciding is suffering. Not all deciding. The kind that repeats all day: what to wear, what to eat, whether to pick up the phone, whether to keep a promise you already made.
People often quote a figure of tens of thousands of small decisions in a day. You do not need the exact count. You can feel the drain. That drain has a name: decision fatigue. When we are tired we choose unwisely. Matching tattoos on a first date. Haircuts we regret. Words we cannot get back.
Systems, Strategies, and Structure exist so you do not have to invent the day from scratch. Learn from the past. Plan for the future. Then live in the only moment that is actually available — right now — with the people who are truly important.
How to begin
Notice the decisions that repeat. Write down ten of them.
Turn three of those into a System, a Strategy, or a Structure so they stop asking for a vote.
Protect the leftover attention for what is truly important, and for who is truly important.
This week’s Life Challenge
Focus on how many decisions you make each day, and look for ways to reduce that number so you can do what is truly important with the people who are truly important — right now.
